    • 2017 November 22, Amy Argetsinger, “David Cassidy was the biggest star in the world — for about two years”, in The Washington Post[1]:
      Like all good actors, he had an interesting face. Wide-set eyes, narrow and lashy, that gave him a wryness beyond his years. When he kept the smile in check for troubled-young-man roles on “Bonanza” or “Marcus Welby, M.D.,” his masterful sulk could pierce the small screen.
    • 2021 October 25, Jenna Rosenstein, “Lucy Boynton on Natural Perfume, Icy-Blonde Maintenance, and That Signature Haircut”, in Harper's Bazaar[2]:
      Or maybe you came across one of her bold, artistic, or glittery red-carpet makeup looks and immediately hit pin. The actress is a bona fide beauty star, never one to shy away from a lashy, retro-inspired eye look or a well-placed hair accessory.
